is there anything more satisfying than reaching the peak of a hike you really struggled with? ...maybe the pb&j waiting for you back down at the bottom? 😂 if you're new around here all i think about is food.

BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER FLATBREADS⁣ ⁣ this year we are watching sports from the couch instead of the stadium and i am 100% ok with it because that means i'm not spending $$$ on overpriced snacks or waiting in line for ten minutes to use the bathroom 😂.
BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER FLATBREADS⁣ ⁣ this year we are watching sports from the couch instead of the stadium and i am 100% ok with it because that means i'm not spending $$$ on overpriced snacks or waiting in line for ten minutes to use the bathroom 😂. ⁣ ⁣ to make this game day classic, i battered and cooked half a head of cauliflower using the technique from my 'korean bbq cauliflower' recipe (on the blog!). once the cauliflower is done toss it in @thenewprimal buffalo sauce. top a piece of naan or flat bread with @miyokoscreamery mozzarella and @violife_foods parmesan then add your buffalo bites and pop it all back in the oven for 15 min or until melty and hot! drizzle with more buffalo, vegan ranch, sprinkle with parsley, and serve! 🏈⚾️🏆

this year has been crazy for all of us. as i'm sure many of you can relate, i've been alone a lot lately. i'd consider myself an introvert and i have always cherished my alone time, but about a month ago i was at a peak of stir-craziness. a friend came to town and i took some time off and it made me realize how much i had been isolating myself. ⁣ after having some time to process, i see now how much i had been pausing my life in anticipation of things going back to "normal". i realize now that we must keep moving because there is no canceling of this year, and we are going to take 2020 with us into 2021. and yes, i realize that most of us figured this out back in May, it just took me a little longer. i'm here now! i'm working on being present. not waiting for the world to change but letting myself change in the form of growth. and i can't quite put my finger on it but this growth feels very important.
my favorite dessert lately has been these frozen date treats and you are in luck because they couldn't be more simple to make! just split open a date and remove the pit. then add a spoonful of your favorite nut/seed butter (for this batch i chose @kw
my favorite dessert lately has been these frozen date treats and you are in luck because they couldn't be more simple to make! just split open a date and remove the pit. then add a spoonful of your favorite nut/seed butter (for this batch i chose @kweenandco blueberry granola butter and lemme just say...💥🤯😯🤤).⁣ finally, just dunk 'em in melted dark chocolate, sprinkle with flakey sea salt, and pop in the freezer! ⁣ ⁣ hope you all have a fabulous weekend and if you make these puppies make sure to tag me, i love seeing your recreations!
happy birthday to my love & best friend. i am so lucky to be spending another trip around the sun with you. you are one in a million (and apparently we have both changed our hair styles a million times since being together)😊.

happy tueaday, loves. i want to reintroduce myself because there are quite a few of you that are new to my page. first off, welcome! my full name is maria but most people call me mia. i was born and raised in the suburbs of chicago, and moved to southern california in the spring of 2019. my biggest passion is sharing my plant based meals and sustainability tips. so if you're into that kinda thing, this is the place for you! ⁣ ⁣ now that the basic details are out of the way, here are few fun facts about me ☺️:⁣ ⁣ ♡ i sort out any candy that is a mixture of colors and eat it in a very particular order.⁣ ♡ my favorite childhood memory is without a doubt family vacations. it's hard to pick a favorite, but our trips to Aruba were a blast! ♡ i have an adorable orange tabby cat, but i ask my boyfriend every single day if he is ready to get a dog yet. 🤣⁣ ♡ a little over a year ago i decided to cut waaaayyyy down on buying fast fashion. now, learning about ethics and sustainability in the fashion industry is quickly becoming one of my biggest passions! ⁣

there's nothing quite like fresh hummus ✨. loaded pitas have been a favorite of mine since the days of ordering gyros without meat as a kid 😂. toasted some pita in the oven and topped er off with homemade hummus, tomato, cucumber, onion, chickpeas, evoo, lemon juice, and paprika. ⁣ ⁣ easy homemade hummus: drain and rinse one can of chickpeas, reserving the liquid. add to a food processor or blender with a clove of garlic, 3 tbsp tahini, 3 tbsp evoo, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lemon. blend for a few minutes, occasionally scraping down the sides of your belnder to make sure everything is incorporated. while you are doing this you can slowly add the liquid from the chickpea can (1 tbsp at a time) to make blending easier and the hummus extra creamy. top with evoo and paprika.
